In January, 2012, Domain Secuirty Company, under its original Asif name, managed to obtain from the US Patent and Trademark Office the approval for a trademark for ".secure" and ".bank". The company also apparently became a [[GoDaddy]] reseller in order to justify its claim that it was using the terms in commerce. It is well-known that you cannot apply for trademarks for [[TLD]]s, and so it is unclear but doubtful that the move will eventually help the company obtain the patented terms. The trademarks were awarded because they claimed that they were being used for "registration services".<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2011/12/12/dot-secure-trademark/]</ref><ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2011/10/24/how-secure-is-the-secure-trademark-application/ How Secure is the Secure Trademark, DomainNameWire.com]</ref> | |||
